Last weekend, New Zealand defeated Japan 62-19 in Exeter, securing their spot in the quarterfinals. Ayesha Leti-I'iga, Braxton Sorensen-McGee, and Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, the Black Ferns' back three, were a continual threat despite a few shortcomings. They created opportunities with their speed and deft running. They will try to outpace Ireland's defense and make a breakthrough before they can regroup. Ireland, who also have 10 points following an exciting 43-27 victory over Spain, will be up against this in an exciting match. The reigning champions are New Zealand, who have won six titles, making them the most successful team in Women's World Cup history. Portia Woodman-Wickliffe became New Zealand's highest try-scorer in test rugby as a result of their resounding victory over Japan.

Ireland W: WWLLW

- World Cup Women: Ireland W 42-14 Japan W

This year's Six Nations was difficult for Ireland Women, who defeated France, England, and Scotland but triumphed over Italy and Wales. Their defensive structure, which forces opponents into their defense through aggressive tackling and lateral movement, is their strongest suit. They could slow down play and force scrummage resets if they can stop New Zealand's wide runners and divert attacks to their physical defenders. Aoife Wafer and Claire Molloy will be essential to Ireland's breakdown and jackaling. Wafer, who is renowned for her work ethic and ability to break things down, will be essential in maintaining possession. Her ability to slow down New Zealand's ruck speed and win turnovers will throw off their rhythm and prevent their backs from getting quick ball.
Ireland W - Team News
Erin King scored the game-winning goal in the last minute as Ireland defeated New Zealand 29-27 in their most recent meeting in September 2024. Ireland has proven they can compete at the highest level, even though they let Spain score 27 points in a 43-27 victory. This is Ireland's hardest test to date, even though they were predicted to advance in their group with New Zealand. They defeated Spain 43-27 last weekend and Japan 42-14 in their first game.
